The Sinisa Mihajlovic era officially begins for Milan tonight, and the Serbian names a strong side to face Perugia.
Last season’s ninth-place finish means the Rossoneri must enter the Coppa Italia in the third round, and they welcome the Serie B side to San Siro this evening.
Club President Silvio Berlusconi will be in attendance to see how the new Diavolo are shaping up.
The Serbian tactician promised he would field a strong line-up in yesterday’s pre-match Press conference, and Mihajlovic has been true to his word.
